4.8 Summary of functions

 Page 1 / 1
This module provides a review of the binomial, geometric, hypergeometric, and Poisson probability distribution functions and their properties.
Formula

Binomial

$X$ ~ $B\left(n,p\right)$

$X$ = the number of successes in $n$ independent trials

$n$ = the number of independent trials

$X$ takes on the values $x=$ 0,1, 2, 3, ..., $n$

$p$ = the probability of a success for any trial

$q$ = the probability of a failure for any trial

$p+q=1\phantom{\rule{15pt}{0ex}}q=1-p$

The mean is $\mu =\mathrm{np}$ . The standard deviation is $\sigma =\sqrt{\mathrm{npq}}$ .

Formula

Geometric

$X$ ~ $G\left(p\right)$

$X$ = the number of independent trials until the first success (count the failures and the first success)

$X$ takes on the values $x$ = 1, 2, 3, ...

$p$ = the probability of a success for any trial

$q$ = the probability of a failure for any trial

$p+q=1$

$q=1-p$

The mean is $\mu =\frac{1}{p}$

Τhe standard deviation is $\sigma =\sqrt{\frac{1}{p}\left(\left(\frac{1}{p}\right)-1\right)}$

Formula

Hypergeometric

$X$ ~ $H\left(r,b,n\right)$

$X$ = the number of items from the group of interest that are in the chosen sample.

$X$ may take on the values $x$ = 0, 1, ..., up to the size of the group of interest. (The minimum valuefor $X$ may be larger than 0 in some instances.)

$r$ = the size of the group of interest (first group)

$b$ = the size of the second group

$n$ = the size of the chosen sample.

$(n, r+b)$

The mean is: $\mu =\frac{nr}{r+b}$

The standard deviation is: $(\sigma , \sqrt{\frac{rbn\left(r+b-n\right)}{{\left(r+b\right)}^{2}\left(r+b-1\right)}})$

Formula

Poisson

$X$ ~ $\text{P(μ)}$

$X$ = the number of occurrences in the interval of interest

$X$ takes on the values $x$ = 0, 1, 2, 3, ...

The mean $\mu$ is typically given. ( $\lambda$ is often used as the mean instead of $\mu$ .) When the Poisson is used to approximate the binomial, we use the binomialmean $\mu =np$ . $n$ is the binomial number of trials. $p$ = the probability of a success for each trial. This formula is valid when n is "large" and $p$ "small" (a general rule is that $n$ should be greater than or equal to $20$ and $p$ should be less than or equal to $0.05$ ). If $n$ is large enough and $p$ is small enough then the Poisson approximates the binomial very well. The variance is ${\sigma }^{2}=\mu$ and the standard deviation is $\sigma =\sqrt{\mu }$

what about nanotechnology for water purification
RAW Reply
please someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think one can use nanoparticles, specially silver nanoparticles for water treatment.
Damian
yes that's correct

is there industrial application of fullrenes. What is the method to prepare fullrene on large scale.?
Rafiq
industrial application...? mmm I think on the medical side as drug carrier, but you should go deeper on your research, I may be wrong
